# Ingredients:
→ For the Toast
01 -
6 pieces milk bread or any square shaped white bread
02 -
4 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
03 -
2 large eggs, beaten
04 -
1 cup vegetable oil or any neutral oil
→ For Toppings
05 -
2 tablespoons butter
06 -
sweetened condensed milk, as needed
# Instructions:
01 -
For one sandwich, evenly spread a thin layer of peanut butter on two slices of the bread from edge to edge. Leave 1 slice of bread without peanut butter. Stack the slices with peanut butter facing upwards and top with the plain slice. Lightly push down to stick together.
02 -
Slice off the crusts of both sandwiches with a bread knife to create a square.
03 -
In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. Lightly coat sandwiches in the beaten eggs, being careful not to oversoak. Rest the sandwiches vertically on a plate.
04 -
Heat vegetable oil in a large heavy bottomed pan over low-medium heat (300°F). Carefully lower one sandwich into the hot oil. Fry on all sides until golden brown (30 seconds on sides, 1-2 minutes on larger surfaces).
05 -
Serve hot with butter and condensed milk drizzled on top.
# Notes:
01 -
Can substitute peanut butter with Nutella, condensed milk, or any nut butter
02 -
Can substitute condensed milk topping with honey or maple syrup

Don't oversoak bread in egg mixture to prevent it from becoming too mushy
